It’s 7 am and we’re seeing some very light rain. Total rainfall shouldn’t be enough to affect the rivers but the cloud cover is great. A few showers may push the olives a little earlier in the day. The wind will be the same as yesterday at 5 – 10. Overall it looks like a good day to be on the water. Some river sections had strong caddis yesterday along with some spinners in the evening. As you move downstream there are more March Browns, Gray Fox, and Sulphurs but have a few of those no matter where you’re fishing. Wet flies and nymphs have worked in the morning but you can also blind cast some of the bigger bugs in the riffles.
Today will be 64 degrees with rain this morning and scattered showers this afternoon. Total rainfall should be a negligible .18″. Wind will be 5 – 10 from the South.
